Hey Guys,

I would like your help and opinion for a daily watch, wear it at work. I´m 25years and work in the financial market. Im looking for more of a square kind of shape watch. so far my options are:

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Chrono 701867P (For sale: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso (7199 EUR), Germany - JamesList), love it!
IWC Da Vinci(http://www.jameslist.com/advert/5308...e-iwc-da-vinci)
Franck Muller, Master Banker (For sale: Franck Muller Master Banker (9000 EUR), France - JamesList), the name alone is worth it!!!
Franck Muller Casablanca,(For sale: Franck Muller Casablanca (6950 EUR), France, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Cannes - JamesList)

Welcome to Teamspeed!

JLC no doubt. Franck Muller is just a glorified fashion watch.

You should definitely look at the Zenith Port Royal Open Concept. I picked one up a few years ago, and while they don't make them anymore, you can get a great price on a new or slightly used one. A great watch for daily use, will hold it's value, and certainly a unique well made timepiece.

The best advice i can offer you is get what YOU like, Im with JOX on this one. Muller's to me are junk they do absolutely nothing for me.

I picked up a radiomir last year. It is sort of square-ish.. maybe not lol okay well the case is sort of square-ish...

The Jaeger, 100% sure.
This is THE watch to have in rectangular if you love watches this is the one that should be a part of your collection.
There's no other choice.
I'd take the Grande GMT though, I find it to be a little more classic,which ads to the huge heritage of this watch

I'd get and Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet in rose gold, they can be had for like 6.5k used. Another more modern watch is the Cartier Santos 100 Black / Rose gold, cheap used also. If you can afford it check out Richard Mille RM16, my fav squarish watch.
